| Bob Dylan – If You Gotta Go, Go Now Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I heard from a Bard College alumnus who attended the college in the 60's that Bob Dylan wrote it when he was hanging out on campus. Just as the lyric "the pump don't work 'cause the vandals stole the handle" (from Subterranean Homesick Blues) was inspired by Bard, this song was inspired by the curfew rules in place there at the time. Tewksbury, a dorm built in 1958, was a women's only dorm, and if the women did not manage to get in by midnight, the doors would be locked (for security reasons I presume) and the women would have to find somewhere else to spend the night. ... and there you have it! :) |

the part that sais "i traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all" is about one of the band members, who stood in a puddle with his electric guitar and amplifier. He then realized it, and looked back to the wall, finding it not to be plugged in. If it would have been plugged in, he would have been electricuted and died. the song is based on a letter that a fan sent to blink 182, a letter that a teenaged boy wrote before he commited suicide. They found it so deep that they wrote a song about it. |
